The Pixel Tablet is a great smart home dashboard, but it took some work to figure it out.

  1. So I am JUST beginning to look into making a dashboard. I have a Samsung Tab 9 Plus coming in the mail. Primary use would be to have a dashboard to display our new Ring cams when motion is detected, but also would like to display family calendar and local weather. So would I sign up for Home Assistant and create an account there, customize a dashboard on their site, and once I get Fully Kiosk installed on the new tablet, it'll show everything I have set up on the HA website? Or do I need to wait to set it up on the tablet? I'd like to have everything ready when the tablet arrives. Thanks for the video, from a complete noobie to this topic!

  2. Thank you so much for this idea, and your tutorials on Home Assistant. I am looking to jump into the Home Assistant environment in 2025, so this could work out perfectly.

  3. I love your videos and they have been very helpful in learning HA. This video was a great way to get an Android dashboard going on a tablet. My only issue, and it's a big one, is that the Fully Kiosk… app, in auto wake mode, seems to kill the fully charged battery on my new Samsung S9 tablet in about 8 hours. Any ideas or fixes?

  4. Where is the link to the Home assistant dashboard or any video link to you setting it up!? Am I blind or the only one so tired of people claiming its linked then they never do it OR REMVOE IT LATER.. For no damn reason.. But to be unbearably annoying .. Or to charge for it… Or other BS
    Anyone?

  5. So I recently just purchased the pixel tablet for our house. I would love to set it up similar to what you have done but am not as tech savvy. How do I go through setting it up (home assistant to Google home etc ) and then getting it to be home hub mode screen? Any links to videos that do a step by step would be greatly appreciated
